Jermaine Henderson, a veteran college coach with more than 25 years of experience joined the Flyer coaching staff in April of 2023.
Henderson's addition takes advantage of a recently-adopted NCAA rule change that allows for additional coaches on a school's men's basketball staff.
A 1997 grad of Miami University, Henderson's coaching career includes stops at Miami, Missouri State, Cleveland State (twice) and Kansas State. He played on four post-season teams for the then-Redskins, including in 1995 at UD Arena when Miami knocked off Arizona and then fell in overtime to Virginia.
After playing for Herb Sendek and Charlie Coles, Henderson joined Coles' staff at Miami for 15 seasons. Henderson coached three seasons (2012-15) as an assistant to Paul Lusk at Missouri State. He then went to Cleveland State where he was as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator during the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons under Gary Waters.
In 2017-18, Henderson went to Kansas State. At K-State, Henderson spent two seasons as the program's director of student-athlete development on Bruce Weber's staff before returning to the court as an assistant coach for the 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons.
He then returned to Cleveland State as an assistant coach on Daniyal Robinson's staff. The Vikings were 21-14 in Robinson's first season as a head coach in 2022-23.
Henderson has been a part of nine post-season teams and seven conference championships during his coaching career.
